Tamper resistant bottle

Abstract

The present invention provides a tamper resistant bottle to prevent and deter persons from injecting contaminated substances into bottles containing liquids, from removing the solid contents of the bottle, changing their composition, replacing the contents back into the bottle and restoring the bottle to its original condition so as to appear untouched, for the purpose of doing harm to another person. The tamper resistant bottle whose aperature or mouth is generally narrower than its vertical sides, has a safety seal permanently attached within the bottle at some point below the mouth. The safety seal is so attached inside the bottle, that it is beyond the reach and manipulations of anyone; therefore, if broken, the safety seal cannot be replaced, repaired or repositioned in its original form and condition.

I claim: 
     
       1. A tamper resistant bottle, comprising a bottle or container of plastic or other suitable material, a first means adapted to form said bottle in, but not limited to, two sections, a second means to connect said sections, one to the other, a third means to permanently bond said connected sections, each to the other, said unit further including means adapted to form configurations and projections on the inside periphery of said tamper resistant bottle, to receive and to position one or more safety seals, bonding means to permanently bond said safety seals to said configurations and projections, in said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       2. A tamper resistant bottle as described in claim 1 wherein said tamper resistant bottle receives and positions said safety seals within said tamper resistant bottle, at any configuration position below the rim of the mouth of said tamper resistant bottle, bonding means to permanently bond said safety seals to said configurations and projections within said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       3. A safety seal as described in claim 1 comprising a seal body of foil, paper, cloth or other suitable fracturable material, means for bonding said seal body to said configurations and projections in said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       4. A safety seal as described in claim 1 comprising a seal body, a seal rim, and means for bonding said seal rim to said seal body and thereto bonding said seal rim and said seal body to said configurations and projections in said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       5. A safety seal as described in claim 1 comprising a seal body of an easily fracturable material, means adapted to form said seal body into an open mesh, grid or other suitable configuration, and means for bonding said seal body to said configurations and projections in said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       6. A safety seal as described in claim 4 comprising a seal body, a seal rim, and further including perforations positioned in spaced relationship in said seal body, adjacent to said seal rim, bonding means to bond said seal rim to said tamper resistant bottle, a pull tab of string or other suitable material attached to said seal body, means adapted to bond said pull tab to said seal body, enabling said seal body to be detached from said seal rim at said perforations and withdrawn from said tamper resistant bottle. 
     
     
       7. A safety seal as described in claim 1 comprising a multilayered seal body, said seal body having a bottom layer of plastic or other impervious material, and whose diameter is greater than the other said layers, a middle layer containing a liquid dye, a top layer of paper, cloth or other suitable liquid absorbing material, means adapted to permanently bond said layers each to the other, a pull tab permanently bonded to said bottom layer, means adapted to bond said bottom layer to said configurations and projections in said tamper resistant bottle.
